The optimal PDFRead settings used were:

1. In Format 'imgdir'
2. Out Format 'imp2' for EBW1150 or 'imp1' for REB1200. Just substitue your reader's format here instead.
3. Use a 'portrait-p' profile and 'portrait-full' layout mode
4. Check the 'no dilation' box (I tried dilation and since the pi .png's are in a lower resolution it looks terrible!)
5. Click 'Convert'

Looks promising, now only get that pi algorithm incorporated into PDFRead (with GUI)!

Just a note that I attached .lrf and .prc versions of the above sample chap6.pdf here.

This is for the other (popular) small screened ebook readers, Sony PRS-500/505 and Kindle.
